Building better relationships: A reconciliation toolkit

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) helped Canadians see and hear a more honest account of our history. But it did not leave us there. The TRC also outlined a process that would support reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. In doing so, it called on all Canadians to participate in this important work.

With this toolkit, CHF Canada is answering a mandate from its member housing co-ops across Canada to help support housing co-ops to engage in reconciliation. This toolkit is designed to do just that by

  • explaining what reconciliation is and why it is important
  • outlining how the TRC guides us towards reconciliation (Principles of Reconciliation and Calls to Action)
  • providing insights on what housing co-ops can do to engage in meaningful ways.

Also included are some resources and tools to help you on your way, including a glossary, draft charter (for groups wanting to work together on reconciliation) and a list of books, films, videos and other resources.
